COLORADO VOTE TO SHOW TREND ON DRY REPEAL Both Parties’ Stands Wet; National ‘Test Laboratory’ for Issue. BY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Writer DENVER, Sept. 29.—With the wets of both parties striving for prohibition repeal, Colorado has become a sort of testing laboratory in view of Its vote in November on scrapping its state dry law. For various reasons, the movement in this state occupies a rather unique position in determining how public sentiment has shifted during the late years of the not-so-dry decade. A mining, industrial and farming state of 1,000.000 population divided about 60-40 as to rural and urban residence, the state apparently affords a true picture of national thought. It should give a correct crosssection of how the nation feels about Volsteadism, and, for this reason, wet and dry forces are battling bitterly. Some die-hard drys, probably sensing defeat, now urge national repeal, but advocate retention of the state act. Among those making such a strategic retreat is ex-Governor William E. Sweet, v?ho contends the federal amendment is unworkable, but urges a nonalcoholic fence around the state. Picturesque Figures in Fight A similar referendum in 1926 was lost for repeal by a vote of 154,000 to 107,000. although it carried in this city by 4.000. Thus, it will require a shift of about 25,000 votes to give victory to the wets. That amounts to a 16 2-3 per cent change, which is considerable. For various reasons, however, the antis believe they will make the grade this time against one of the mast drastic dry laws in the Union. The situation commands interest because many champions of President Herbert Hoover and several picturesque figures are associated in the causs against prohibition. Mrs. Verner Z. Reed, a Hoover elector, is official head of the Denver Woman’s Organization for Nation Prohibition Reform. She is known as “the lady bountiful of Colorado" because of her many philanthropies. Prominent G. O. P. Men Wets The two in active charge of the work in Denver are Edward D. Nicholson and Mrs. Charles Boettcher, granddaughter-in-law of one of the state's sugar beet pioneers. Ex-Senator Nicholson was the Leadville mining king. His son’s presence in the fight has a dramatic touch, in that the drys once defeated the senator. Other prominent Republicans actively aiding or in sympathy with the move for repeal are ex-Senator Lawrence C. Phipps, now national committeeman; William V. Hodges, former treasurer of the Republican national committee; Spencer Penrose of Colorado Springs, brother of the late Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Clarence C. Hamlin, Colorado Springs, publisher and former Republican national committeeman. Arthur L. Roeder, manager of the Rockefeller mining interests here, has contributed. With Denver possibly the key to the result, Nicholson’s file of voluntary supporters is an important factor. It contains almost 60,000 names, and if each name means two or three sympathizers, repeal will carry. Battle Has Become Bitter The total vote will probably approximate 300,000. Nicholson and Mrs. Boettcher hope to carry the city by 20,000, or 'enough to overcome a majority outside the city. Penrose recently revealed how bitter the battle has become. Criticising the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. for lining up with the drys and permitting the use of their buildings for prohibition meetings, he declined to contribute to the community chest because it apportions some of its funds to those two institutions. Penrose said he would give his “customary contribution of $1,500" to worthy cases. The Anti-Saloon League, once extremely strong in the state, is in a weakened and impoverished condition. It was discredited two years ago when A. J Fitch, the superintendent, was found to have sold stock in a nonproductive oil well to candidates for office seeking the organization's indorsement. SAMUEL DEAN IS DEAD Illness of Nine Months Fatal to Big Four Shops Employe. Illness of almost nine months resulted Wednesday in the death of Samuel Dean, 55, in his home, 1501 Herschel avenue. For seven years he was an employe of the Big Four shops in Beech Grove. Born in Hendricks county, Mr. Dean was a farmer in Boone county many years. He came to Indianapolis ten years ago. He was a member of the Church of Christ. The Rev. Roy Morgan of Muncie will conduct funeral services in Shirley Bros.’ central chapel, 946 North Illinois street, at 2 Friday. Burial will be in Memorial Park cemetery.

R. F. C. LOANS TO CITY-OWNED UTILITYPLANTS Money Available for Small Self-Liquidating Projects, Says Director. BY LEO R. SACK Times Staff Writ* WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Mu-nicipally-owned public utilities will be increased substantially if small communities take advantage of announcement by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation made today through Harvey Couch, director, in charge of loans for self-liquidating projects, that money is available for such work. Couch recently announced the board was anxious to make small loans which come within the terms of the law, in addition to loans on bigger projects. Acting Upon this invitation, the mayor of Madison, S. D., applied for a loan of $105,000 to build an addition to its municipal electric light and power plant. Within a few days after receipt of the application the loan was announced. “We will welcome applications from communities which are without electric power facilities,” Couch said today. “Likewise, we are anxious to advance funds for water works systems and for sewer systems in those states which permit revenues to be derived from their sewer systems.” “Our job,” he explained, “is to loan money to stimulate employment and industry. All that we require is that the applications meet the requirements of the law, which, in brief, is the ability to pay interest, and retire the obligation after a period of approximately io or 12 years. “Wherever funds can be used for the development of a community this board, I am sure, will be found eager to help.”

GROCERY IS ROBBED Herd Three Clerks in Back Room; Get $43. After ordering a package of tobacco two unmasked bandits drew revolvers and herded three clerks at the Standard grocery,. 4842 College avenue, into a back room today and escaped with approximately $43.

Roberts & Son dairy, in which S3OO loot was collected. One of the bandits was six feet in height and weighed about two hundred pounds.

SCHOOL BUDGET ADOPTED WITH NO NEW CUTS Levy Is $1,087 as Finally Passed by Board; Slash Is $857,425. Copies of the 1932-33 school city budget, calling for a $1,087 levy, as adopted finally by the school board Wednesday, were being prepared today for certification to the county auditor. •

The $6,535,481 budget, representing a reduction of $857,425 under ftie 1931-32 budget, a cut of 11.6 per cent, was adopted by the board without change. Board members, in a statement, 'pointed out that even with the 8.7 cents increase in the levy, less taxes will be paid because of an 18 per cent assessed valuation reduction. In its statement, the board answered suggestions for several specific budget cuts, including 20 per cent in supply items, reduction in the sinking fund payment and elimination of all fire insurance. Supply items already have been cut 29.84 per cent and further cuts would impair efficiency of the schools, it was declared. With its bonded debt margin seriously reduced by the cut in assessed valuation, the school city would be unable to rebuild an uninsured school which might burn, the board said. Attention was called to the fact that the circuit court last year held that the sinking fund payment is mandatory, and that failure to make an ample payment for meeting bond and interest maturities would impair credit of the school city. Exchange Club Will Elect Election of officers of the Indianapolis Exchange Club will be held at a meeting Friday night in the Washington.
